Abstract

A cartilage resurfacing implant (10) is provided for replacing cartilage of an articulating portion of a bone at a skeletal joint having opposed joint surfaces. The cartilage resurfacing implant includes a body (12) having a bearing surface (14) and a bone interface (16). The bearing surface is able to support articulation with an opposing joint surface.
